I had this pattern for a while and I planned to knit it with some green yarn. But then all the leaves turned to different colours and I thought the yarn I used for my mitts and my round shawl might make this hat look like a tree in November.
It's a cool pattern to knit, not very difficult to remember but it it needs a little concentration - just right. I started with 112 stitches but that seemed far too small so I frogged it and cast on 126 stitches which looks like a much better fit.
I am not really in a hurry with this one, I knit a little bit every day inbetween my little socks (there are only ten left to knit). Everything is really busy for me at the moment so this is my slow time just for myself.
Totally unrelated to my knitting is this picture. Isn't it the most splendid tree you could imagine? It's more or less on my way to work, I only need to take a little detour to see it ;-)
I still love this yarn colour.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a tree like that almost in front of our house. I miss during fall!
yep, I love it too, obviously ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful combination of colours and textures!
ReplyDeletethank you! It is a great yarn.
DeleteOh that will be such a beautiful hat!
ReplyDeleteI got into the groove yesterday and finished it. Funny how sometimes it takes forever to get really started and then it moves all by itself. So it's actually finished and I only need to take some pictures of it now
